Pommard Les Rugiens Premier Cru

Bouchard Père et Fils is a sizable and historic Burgundy wine estate, based in Beaune. The largest vineyard owner in the Côte d'Or, it produces more than 100 wines mostly made from Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. These unique and exceptional holdings enable them to produce very pure expressions of the many different terroirs. This producer and négociant business is one of the oldest wine estates in Burgundy, founded in 1731. 

Rugiens is no doubt one of the most reputed ''climat'' of Pommard. Its fame is such that it was suggested that its name be added to that of the village of Pommard. Bouchard Pere & Fils acquired vineyards there in 1853 and today still owns the 42 acres bought at that time. 

Fruit aromas combined with animal notes and an oaky touch on the nose. A rich, robust and intense wine with spicy and peppery notes, calling for a bit of patience to open up completely. Very good ageing potential.
